IT STILL FLIPPED
how is that even possible?
third parties?
2016: 49% D, 47%
dude
that's not a flip
that's a dem seat
Today: 51% D, 49%
no, no,
that was how Clinton and Trump performed in the district
it was held by a Republican
what were the circumstances behind him getting out?
old age, scandal, what?
old age
EVERY (R) ON THE BALLOT IS TRUMP ON THE BALLOT
you've got to understand, without an incumbency bump, this was likely to go D anyways.
"EVERY (R) ON THE BALLOT IS TRUMP ON THE BALLOT"
lol that's the opposite of how it works
let's take the Kentucky seat from a few days ago
Dan Johnson only won because of the bump he got from Trump
it was a very slight margin in 2016
you're not seeing a shift to blue when it comes to the populace
it's such a ridiculous thing to freak out about, when the seat went further R than Clinton v Trump
you're seeing
1. Lack of Trump being on the ballot
2. Lack of motivation in general rom GOP voters
without contact to a network of boomers nationwide, we can't do too much about this
what the fuck is the point of moping about this anyways?
a 1% shift is like nothing
it's nothing much, but it's not a bad thing, and it's certainly nothing to go full apocalypse over
@FLanon maybe it's a California thing
SWALLOW THE BLACKPILL, WHITEBOI
okay, now, what was the swing in Kentucky, exactly?
today?
yes
28% swing in favor of Democrats
that's more of a worry than a swing in favor of Rs
T
U
R
N
O
U
T
that's the name of the game
the issue is that blue reddit has this network of dedicated voters in these special elections, but we don't have a mass contact with red reddit
if that can be managed, then we can actually make change with these special elections and you can soapbox however you want.
